The World Over: Tales of Travel

Blending travel literature and history, Joshua Jelly-Schapiro‘s Island People: The Caribbean and the World offers a kaleidoscopic portrait of Caribbean society, culture, and politics. Thirteen of National Book Award-winner and trailblazing war journalist Bob Shacochis’s travel and adventure essays are collected for the first time, in Kingdoms in the Air: Dispatches from the Far Away. In The Joys of Travel: And Stories That Illuminate Them, veteran travel writer Thomas Swick reflects on what he has identified as “the seven joys of travel.”
